2010 Honda Fit

Basic, entry level transportation has had a reputation of being downright Spartan. The Honda Fit defies that stereotype with nice complement of standard features, the cargo options and capacity of larger vehicles, all wrapped up in a sharply styled exterior. All of it starting at less than $15,000. Learn more about the 2010 Honda Fit at Honda dealers Maryland.

The Fit is powered by a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine producing 117 horsepower and 106 lb.-ft. of torque and is mated to a standard five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic with dual-mode paddle shifters. With either transmission, the Fit Sport delivers fuel economy of 27 mpg city and 33 mpg highway; the Fit with the automatic achieves 28 city mpg and 35 highway mpg.

Cargo carrying is a Fit strong point. The 60/40 split rear seat can be configured in several ways to carry tall or long objects. With the back seats folded flat, the Fit has a cargo volume of 57.3 cubic feet, which is more than some midsize crossovers. Unfold the back seat and there’s room for five passengers and 20.6 cubic feet of cargo. Mountain bike, surf board or large house plant, the Fit’s rear seat can be configured to deal with any of those. Get more information about the 2010 Honda Fit at Honda dealers Maryland.
